West Brom in Talks to Sign Manchester United Midfielder Toby Collyer

Overview

• Multiple outlets report that West Brom and Manchester United are in active negotiations over a permanent transfer for 22-year-old Toby Collyer.
• Collyer is in the final year of his United contract and the selling club is understood to be willing to let him go while seeking a sizeable transfer fee.
• Last season Collyer made just 12 appearances for West Brom before a November calf injury and then featured only five times for Hull after being recalled by United.
• West Brom manager James Morrison has publicly said he wants a midfield signing to replace Alex Mowatt while also identifying a winger as a recruitment priority.
• The likely next steps are agreement on a fee, a medical and a permanent contract at The Hawthorns, with the transfer timing shaped by Collyer’s contract length and West Brom’s early squad needs.
